Today I watched a Japanese movie titled “Inu to Watashi no 10 no Yakusoku“ (10 promises between me and my dog) with my dearest Xue Yan. This movie made the both of us cry. After I reflected on the promises made, I discovered that they applied not only to the relationship between us and our pets, but to our other relationships as well.
1. Please have patience when dealing with me.
2. Place your trust in me. Through good and bad times, I will always be by your side.
3. Never forget that I have a heart too… just like you.
4. Whenever I don’t listen to what you say, always remember that there is a reason.
5. Talk to me. I may not understand all your words but I understand your voice when it speaks to me. (In the film: Try to spend a lot of time with me)
6. Let’s not fight. Remember that I could hurt (bite) you but have chosen never to do so.
7. Even when I grow in age (and probably grow slow or weak), please be kind to me.
8. My life may not last as long as yours. Please make every second we spend together count.
9. You may have other friends, other activities. Please remember that for me, there’s only you.
10. When I leave this world, promise me you’ll be by my side. Remember all the times we shared and remember always that I love you.
Well, i will apply this to my relationship as well. Haha, stay tuned to my blog as i will be posting the pictures taken in Cosfest 2008 tml....
This was a great movie. It really brings us through to a better understanding of what love really is. Loving a pet is as difficult as loving a real human. Therefore, before we get a pet, a girlfriend, a wife or whatever that we love, we must make the 10 promises and commit to it. This will help us in handling any difficulties when it arises.
Happy 6th month. Stay happy, always!
